I bought this thing for bullets, not fishing weights. Fishing weights are cool but nothing will get you a fish like bullets. Put em in a gun and BLAM!, you got you a fish, if you're any good at shooting them, that is. I used one bullet the other day and got five fish! Sure they were in a barrel, that doesn't matter, I still got em!

No tiene adaptador para la clavija ya que en Mexico no hay comúnmente y no menciona el tipo de corriente eléctrica que ocupa el fundidor

The lining on the pot pealed on the 1st use adding slag to my lead.

Did you know that tin cans are not really made of tin? They haven't been for a long time. Clearly I am a noob when it comes to melting metals but it looked like fun and I wanted to give it a try. Turns out, the only thing I could melt was some fishing weights, now I have some ameba fishing weights.In the picture they show some coins, can lids and a gold ring, this melting pot can't melt any of those things. I didn't know that, my bad. Now at least you do. The description says it can go up to 450c. As far as I can tell that means you could melt lead, pewter and tin. If that is what you are into this should work for you. If you were hoping for aluminum, copper or brass, this won't even get you halfway there. It isn't the sellers fault that I didn't know what I was doing but the misleading picture in on them

Like another who purchased this melting kit, I didn't realize what metals could be melted at 450c and below. I had heated my little pot and was ready to drop stuff like pop-can tops. They didn't melt. I read a review, realized my mistake, and then fell down a rabbit hole to discover not only the metals that melt at less than 450c, but Campbell's soup cans have an aluminum pull tab, and the can is made of tin-coated steel. If you are curious about metal or aluminum, put a magnet on it. It attracts metal but not aluminum. We live on an old farm, and pieces of metal are everywhere. So we pick up what we find, put it in a bucket, and see what melts. This was not my intended use.I saw metal melter and ordered this set, which includes some thicker than most gloves and a stand, and thought how cool it would be to use, not realizing the different melting points of metal This has turned out to be even better than I had hoped to use for funky charms I have listed the metal and its melting point at less than 450c (Yes, Mercury melts at -39c) Who knew I would learn so much from ordering a metal melter? However, I would have liked a more oversized tub as I use odd-shaped pieces.Melting Points of MetalMercury -39cPhosphorus 44cPotassium 63cSodium 98cSolder 50-50cSelenium 217cTin 232cBabbitt 249cBismuth 272cCadmium 321cLead 328cMagnesium Alloys 349c – 649cZinc 420c
